Be The Change

A Chat I Had This Morning With An Ignorant Male Who Doesn't Understand The Definition of EQUALITY

• The convo topic was Male Privilege (what else)
• Me: I look forward to the day women gain equality
• Him: Honesty I don't think equality is possible as we are different, but fairness and legitimacy should happen
• Me: All people are different no matter what gender/sex you are. Everyone deserves to be treated as an equal regardless of anything. class rank/job/money/color/sexuality/gender/bodysize/religion/ethnic background/handicap/etc etc etc. Equality doesn't mean we're all the same it just means we all deserve the same amount of respect/rights/opportunities.
• Him: Ok I agree with a lot of that, but I dunno I'm just not fully on board with the equality term...
• Me: I don't understand how you do not agree with the term equality but ok
• Him: Come to the concrete plant with me and work a day with the sledgehammer. We are different, you shouldn't be treated bad cause of it but in the end we are.
• Me: I think you are confusing the term ABILITY with EQUALITY.
• Him: Maybe I am but that's all I am saying
• In case anyone was wondering the definition of EQUALITY is: The state of being equal, esp. in status, rights, and opportunities. NOT whether or not you can/are willing to lift a sledge hammer. So sorry sir but your argument is INVALID
